Chapter 24: The Competition for Beauty at the Banquet



Ma Qingyi smiled coldly, "I hate this feeling of being ignored! Why doesn't anyone come to talk to me?"

"With me by your side, I'm afraid those people are self-aware. Why would anyone come here?" Mo Yufeng said arrogantly.

Ma Qingyi pursed her lips and said nothing.

Suddenly, a fierce-looking, strong man stood up with a cup in hand and looked towards Molicheng.

"Your Majesty, I toast you!"

Mo Yecheng also raised his glass and gestured to him to drink.

"A few days ago, there were some minor problems in Dai Kingdom and the border. Thanks to the help of Mo Yu Kingdom and the increase of military aid, the situation has been stabilized. However, the city has needed a lot of material, financial and human resources for military maintenance recently. I really don’t know what gift to give you... I specially ordered people to go to the snow mountain to get Yuji flowers, Fang Xiangrong and other flowers to make these Wenyi pills that can keep you warm. This small gift is not a good sign of respect! I hope Your Majesty will accept it!" said the envoy of Dai Kingdom.

The servant presented the Wen Yi pills, and Mo Yecheng smiled. "Your Excellency is thoughtful. This Yuji flower, Fang Xiangrong prefers shade and steep places. It is a precious medicinal material that grows on the cold snow-capped mountains. How can I not accept such a great gift!"

The envoy from Dai sat down, and the room was filled with harmony.

Suddenly a clear voice broke into the harmony.

"Your Majesty, I am late!" Bai Lishen walked into the hall in a white robe with a smile on his face.

Mo Yecheng didn't care and smiled, "I thought you weren't coming! Please take a seat!"

"Okay!" Bai Lishen sat down near Mo Yufeng and Ma Qingyi.

"I didn't expect Mo Yufeng to bring you here too!" Bai Lishen looked at Ma Qingyi and said.

"Shouldn't I come? Why should you worry about me just because I want to come here to play?" Ma Qingyi retorted.

Bai Lishen suddenly saw Chunling standing behind Ma Qingyi, and looked at her with a smile on his face.

Chunling felt her gaze and looked towards Bai Lishen. Seeing Bai Lishen staring at her with a smile, Chunling blushed and lowered her head.

Ma Qingyi picked up a date from the table and threw it at Bai Lishen's head.

Bai Li frowned deeply, "Why did you hit me?"

"What do you want to do by staring at Chunling?... I haven't settled the score with you for what happened last time!" Ma Qingyi said threateningly.

Bai Lishen looked aggrieved. "He was responsible for everything that happened last time. I was drunk at the time and I have forgotten how I got back to Bai Han Mansion!"

Ma Qingyi looked at Mo Yufeng, only to see him elegantly holding up the wine glass and drinking slowly, without even looking at them.

Ma Qingyi looked at Bai Lishen again and asked, "Then why were you looking at Chunling just now? Are you planning something bad?"

Bai Li smiled meaningfully and said, "If I tell you that I want Chun Ling, will you give it to me?"

Chunling suddenly looked up in horror and saw Bai Lishen looking at her with a smile.

"...Don't even think about it!" Ma Qingyi said angrily.

Bai Lishen smiled and said, "I was just joking, why are you angry?" Then he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"The princess and Li Shen seem to have a very good relationship!" Mo Yecheng's words turned the attention of everyone in the hall to Ma Qingyi.

"I..." Ma Qingyi was a little embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, you can't say this casually!... After all, Prince Fu Qing is still by your side! Aren't you afraid that he will be jealous?" Bai Lishen helped Ma Qingyi out of the predicament.

"Princess Fu Qing and I just feel that we are destined to meet. We met very late, so we are just friends!" Bai Lishen picked up the wine glass and took a sip casually.

Mo Yecheng smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing!"

"Your Majesty, our Princess of Dai has specially brought a dance for you all, please enjoy it," said the envoy of Dai.

"good!"

Dai Lianrong walked in slowly in a gauze brocade dress with her fingers raised like an orchid. She danced gracefully to the music and looked at Mo Yufeng from time to time.

Ma Qingyi glanced at Mo Yufeng, but saw that he never raised his eyes to look at her; even Ma Qingyi could feel the burning gaze, and she didn't believe that Mo Yufeng couldn't see it; Ma Qingyi pushed him and whispered beside him, "The princess has hinted so obviously, you should show some reaction! Even a smile will do!"

Mo Yufeng looked at her and said calmly, "Do you know what will happen after this dance if I smile at her?"

"What will happen?" Ma Qingyi asked curiously. Bai Lishen beside her also hit her with a date. "You will have a sister in the future!"

What sisters

Ma Qingyi was still a little confused.

"The four countries in Beiling are headed by Mo Yu, and the other three countries, Bai Han, Dai, and Ye Li, are equally powerful. In order to maintain balance and live in peace, the three countries will form marriages. This will prevent some people with ulterior motives from instigating war among the three countries!" Mo Yufeng said lightly.

"So Mo Yu Country is the most powerful. Any country that has a princess would be eager to send it to Mo Yu Country. This generation's princess originally agreed to marry me, but I don't like her and her heart is not with me, so the wedding has been delayed for a whole year!" Bai Lishen continued.

"Look, her heart is with Mo Yufeng. If Yufeng smiles, some people will think that they are in love with each other and will take the opportunity to propose after the dance... that they get married. Then you will naturally have a younger sister!" Bai Lishen raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Ma Qingyi thought deeply for a while, "If the Princess of Dai and Mo Yufeng get married, then the relationship between Baihan Kingdom and Dai Kingdom will be in danger!"

Bai Lishen almost spit out the wine he had just drunk. "Miss, this isn't what you should be concerned about! You'll be practicing polygamy from now on!"

Ma Qingyi pondered for a while, then looked at Mo Yufeng and said, "Smile!"

Bai Lishen: "What?"

Mo Yufeng: "..."

"She likes you and can take care of you in the future! I can't do anything! You can then divorce me and let her become the princess. This way, no one will covet your position as princess!" Ma Qingyi said with a firm look and clear logic.

Mo Yufeng looked at her with a smile and said, "You want me to divorce you... Don't even think about it!"

"...Why?" Ma Qingyi was a little confused.

"You and I haven't had enough fun yet!" Mo Yufeng said casually.

Ma Qingyi kicked him angrily, and Mo Yufeng glared back, and the two of them started quarreling in the audience.

After Dai Lianrong finished dancing, she looked at them with sadness in her eyes. She looked for a long time, then turned around and sat down.

"You two, stop making trouble. The princess has already finished dancing!" Bai Lishen couldn't stand it anymore. It was okay for Ma Qingyi to be a little crazy, but Mo Yufeng actually joined her in being crazy, and he obviously embarrassed the princess of this generation in public!

"The prince and the princess have such a good relationship!" the envoy from Dai suddenly said.

The two stopped fighting.

"I wonder which family the princess is from?" the Dai envoy asked again.

"Ma Qingyi, the daughter of Ma Xiong from Mo Yu Country!" said Mo Yecheng.

"So you're the descendant of a great general, no wonder you're so eccentric!"
